Trying to select just 15 players for each All-Shore team is a painstaking process, but it is so cool to be able to highlight some players with incredible seasons in 2024!
The depth and talent of the Shore is astonishing, these are the best of the best!

So many problematic statements here. But the first is no, the U.S. did not recognize sovereignty since 1946.
They supported a U.N. resolution in 1979 for dual recognition of the ROC and PRC. The vote lost, and the U.S. respected the results while supporting Taiwan sovereignty.

So let’s get this straight: The Bears essentially traded a linebacker previously drafted 8th overall who was an all-pro caliber player for Chase Claypool and a 5th round pick.

To be clear, Adolph Dassler (AdiDas) was the one who wanted to sponsor Jesse Owens and by most accounts was not an active nazi sympathizer.
His brother Rudolph, who started Puma, was.
Their falling out over the Nazi affiliation was why they started to separate companies.

Let me take this a step further: Donatella Rovera wrote multiple articles about human rights abuses by the Assad regime in Syria… before 2015.
So what changed in 2015?
Russia started backing Assad’s government in the war.

So if every adult American got paid 50k that would be 10.5 trillion dollars or more than double the entire budget of the federal government. So maybe it would help to think things through before talking but idk.

Additionally, Taiwan was the territory of Japan for 50 years from 1895-1945.
Taiwan has been a separate entity from China for longer than the Chinese communist party has existed. By about 20 years.

Jake Locker stuff seems a bit unfair. Mora was touting his character and I attended a Husky football camp when he was a player there and can personally say Locker was one of the nicest guys to all the kids.
As an NFL player he didn’t make it, but his character was not an issue

Three Shore powerhouses impressed with wins at the Catholic Challenge. With RBC taking a leap forward, the Shore has somehow gotten even more competitive this spring.
3 wins in 3 days including against the North Non-Public A runner-up — RBC has proven they’re among the elite.
CASEYS WIN TODAY 4-3 vs. IHA at THE CATHOLIC CHALLENGE!

Disagree majorly with that. Glad the sport isn’t being sanitized. Viewers should be confronted by it.

Highlights from todays win:
Angela Christopher with a grand slam and 6 RBI today.

Peyton Waterman with 3 hits
Riley Lawrence, Ayden Kampf and Grace Ascolese each with 2 hits.

One of those tweets was a self promoting article link to serve as a reminder of the low point in a man’s life just hours after he died in a helicopter crash with his 13 year old daughter and 7 other people.

I want to say this as a journalist:

He shouldn’t cover another event if his reaction is to file a police report. It’s a joke. The shove was nothing. I’ve shoved people harder coming of a subway in NYC. He was in the way and not paying attention.

How bout this: the constitution was written in 1787. The first abortion law was not put into law until 1821 - 34 years later.
The constitution doesn’t mention a right to an abortion because there was no reason to think it would become illegal at the time it was written.

Now is probably a good time to mention that Ari Emmanuel’s father was a part of a terrorist group that killed 91 people in a bombing in 1946.
Of the casualties, 28 were British citizens. His father, Benjamin M Emmanuel, worked with the Irgun before & after this.
